One of life's little questions
Posted: Wed May 14, 2008 10:31 am
I cannot be alone in my observations can I?
There are many parts of the World that I?ve not been to but here we have representatives from all over & I would appreciate your comments about your own observations & conclusions.
Yes you will already have guessed in which direction my question is coming from, it is indeed Gents toilets!
I?m pretty certain that Graffiti is a recognised art (?) form all over the World, the lowest form starting at downright crude and rising into the realms of highly amusing.
Some of the most amusing samples that I?ve had the honour of reading are engraved for eternity into the wooden partitions of some American crappers.
But no that is not my quest.
It is something which appears to occur only in England and is something that has had me questioning this strange phenomenon for many years.
Yes, the missing clothes hook!
Why do they disappear?
It doesn?t seem to matter where the crapper is, the clothes hooks fitted to the back of the doors just disappear.
Can it be described as a ?fetish??
Maybe there?s a secret Club of bog house clothes hook admirers.
I can picture in my minds eye, garden sheds with displays of rows of highly prized stolen clothes hooks hidden from public scrutiny carefully labelled with such as:-
?Birmingham Airport departures 2005?
?The spotted Dog 1987?
?St. Pancras 1976?
?Lotus Engineering Office 1983?
Or going off on a further tangent:-
?Hung Susie by her bra straps on this in Murphy?s Disco!?
I wonder if these "Collectors" have secret meetings or maybe have their own website with perhaps columns for swaps, for sale or searching for.
Do these crapper hook removers ?go equipped??
I?ve noticed in more security conscience crappers that special screws, requiring specialised screwdrivers with two thin pins, are used in order to foil these collectors; all to no avail.
They all seem to stop at nothing to relieve our crappers of this important piece of kit.
I bow to your collective knowledge & experience & beg you to throw some light on this conundrum?
It's something I must know befroe I turn my toes up.
